and the State" Dr. Tucker has been
spending his vacation between Sundays
when it is not too hot in studying
the geology Of Morrow county. A minis
ter who has the pluck to spend his vaca-
ton in this way deserves the high COM
pliment which the Doctor has received
by being elected q member of the School
of Esoteric Culture and Philosophy, Bos-
ton. He is also invited to cooperate in
the work of the Christian Evidence Asso-
citation, London, England.
We should be pleased to have re-
ports occasionally from our Sunday
schools as we conceive this department
Of church work to be of the most vital
Importance to organized Universalism-
the only kind OF Universalism that is do
ing much for the world.
The Akron Sunday school has been
kept running during vacation and the re-
suit has been highly encouraging, as it
has held the children together and kept
them from dropping out or going to
other schools. In either case this usually
proves detrimental.
sharpsville, Pa.
The Sharpsville church is to have
new parsonage and we learn that the
foundation is already completed.
Grove Meeting near Belleville, o.
The Belleville Star, of the 18th instant,
contains an account of grove meeting
held by our church at that place on the
21st, in CARRIERS Grove. 1t says: "The at
tendance was large notwithstanding the
threatening weather. The sermon in
the forenoon was given by the pastor
Rev. G. P. Nash), from Romans XIX, 81,
Revised Version: For the creation was
subjected to vanity, not of its own will,
but by reason of him who subjected it in
the hope that the creation itself, also shall
be delivered from the bondage OF corrup-
ton into the liberty of the glory of the
children of God The Creation is ex-
planned by Prof. Stuart to be the intelli-
gent creation.
"The singing was excellent, the basket
dinner bounteous, the social intercourse
most enjoyable, and the collection liber-
al. In the afternoon, Mr.. A. A, Stearns,
agent of BuchteI College, gave very
fine address on higher education, con-
tanning many valuable suggestion on
that important subject. His theme was:
why go to College? Where to go and
how to co."
Basket Meeting at Peru.
Last Sunday the Peru church held its
annual basket meeting. The services
we're held in the church, the pastor, Rev.
9. P. Nash preaching in the morning to a
well filled house, and in the afternoon,
Rev. Ct. L. Perrin, of the Shawmut ave-
nue. church, Boston, preached to still
larger congregation, many coming in
from the other churches. His sermon
was full hour in length and was preach
ed to full house because they had just
partaken OF full repast of good things
under the trees on the church lot. Hence
no wonder he is said to have captured"
the entire audience with his discourse!
There is no better preparation to make a
kindly disposed audience than to feed
them well under such pleasant circum-
stances. But Br. Perrin would no doubt
have captured" the audience, dinner or
no dinner, for it is said that when he
closed everybody wished him to ego on
not to Boston, but with his discourse.
Our informant says so far as could be
learned the day and it's services we're
spoken of in the most enthusiastic terms.
The fall term at Buchtel begins Sep
TENDER 6. We regret to learn that Miss
Helen Pratt has resigned her position as
teacher in the college, but there is still
hope that che may be prevailed upon to
return by the holiday vacation, ready for
the winter term. II SO, the interim will
be supplied by Mrs. A. T. Van Lear who
has taught in Miss Chamberlain place
since January OF last year.
